After alcohol and nicotine, marijuana is the most commonly used “recreational” drug in Western countries, though official positions among different countries vary widely. A debate about the medical applications of marijuana and other cannabis-based preparations has been brewing for years, and pressure to legalise such use continues to increase. In The Science of Marijuana Iversen explains the remarkable advances that have been made in scientific research on cannabis with the discovery of specific receptors and the existence of naturally occurring cannabis-like substances in the brain. Iversen provides an objective and up-to-date assessment of the scientific basis for the medical use of cannabis and what risks this may entail. The recreational use of the drug and how it affects users is described along with some predictions about how attitudes to cannabis may change in the future.

Two eminent Harvard researchers describe the medical benefits of marihuana, explain why its use has been forbidden, and argue for its full legalization to make it available to patients who need it. Highly praised when it was first published in 1993, this timely new edition has been expanded to include the latest research.

Growers who want to stick around to enjoy the fruits of their labor find everything they need in this complete guide. Robert Bunch shares his patented, unbustable growing system — what lights to use so cops won’t come knocking, which open land is safe to plant on (and safe from hunters), how to get primo plants without pricey designer seeds and grow systems, and other essential advice. Also included are tips on how to safely move product, advice for growing psychedelic mushrooms, and 27 munchies-tested dope and ‘shroom recipes.

Often, parts of the marijuana plant such as leaf or trim are discarded because they are lower in THC content and unappetizing to smoke. The second title in the Ask Ed series, Marijuana Gold: Trash to Stash shows how to rescue these unused parts of the plant by processing them to increase concentration, or by using alternate methods of consumption to rescue them from inadvertent waste. With photographs, illustrations and his usual expertise, Ed Rosenthal tells you how to get the most mileage from a personal stash.

Marijuana and the Cannabinoids presents a compendium of research into the botany, chemistry, and pharmacology of cannabis and the medicinal aspects of the cannabinoids. While medicinal use of Cannabis sativa L. has been reported for over 5000 years, interest in its medicinal potential and controversy surrounding its illicit use have grown exponentially since the identification of the chemical structure of the plant’s active constituent (D9-THC) in 1964. This volume presents the findings of researchers on the forefront of this emerging and controversial field of study.

Marijuana use continues to attract interest and fuel controversy. Big, green pot leaves have adorned the covers of Time, National Review, and Forbes. Almost 100 million Americans have tried marijuana at least once. Groups such as The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana (NORML) and The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) have tens of thousands of members. Polls suggest that 70-80% of Americans support medicinal marijuana. At least 11 U.S. states have experimented with decriminalization and medical marijuana laws, with new initiatives appearing each year. Meanwhile, other groups such as Partnership for a Drug Free America and Mothers Against Drugs protest legalization. Clearly, debate about marijuana policy shows no sign of abating.

Hairy Pothead thinks he is an ordinary boy – until he is rescued by a biker, gets a glass bong, rides the Magic Bus, lives in a Cannabis Castle, attends Hempwards School of Herbcraft and Weedery, learns to play Qannabbi, does battle with a policeman, and smokes tons of marijuana.

Meet the giant biker Hogride, Hempwards Master Head Alwaze Duinthadope, Professors Moruvva McGanjagal and Vacuous Vape, and all the rest of the Hempwards staff! Hairy Pothead is a hilarious and subversive parody which will be enjoyed by anyone who gets a kick out of cannabis.

In Marijuana: Not Guilty As Charged, Ford definitely examines and debunks each myth about marijuana, presenting facts based on meticulous studies. In a candid and common-sense tone, this book informs readers on the current debate over marijuana: its medicinal value, as well as it recreational, creative, and other uses. Testimonials from people with cancer (including the author himself), AIDS, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, paraplegia, migraines, and other debilitating conditions offer convincing evidence of marijuana’s medical relief. If marijuana is relatively harmless, why is it illegal? David Ford explains how the federal government created a systematic campaign of deception that began in the 1930’s. Why were U.S. legislators, professionals and the public duped into outlawing this relatively harmless plant—along with hemp, it’s versatile NON-INTOXICATING cousin? Why was marijuana placed in the same category as heroin: “too dangerous to prescribe by a physician”? Was it to protect multinational corporations from a plant that cannot be patented? From fifty years of research and interviews with hundreds of marijuana users, the author offers compelling arguments why marijuana should never have been illegal. The government is aware that marijuana never resulted in even one documented toxicity-related death and IS medicine. In 1966, the voters of California and Arizona saw through the malicious propaganda and approved marijuana for medical purposes. This has fanned the fire of controversy and incited the Drug Enforcement Administration to threaten legal action against doctors who recommend marijuana to ease the suffering of the ill and dying. Vivid accounts depict some of the atrocities, including death by law enforcement officers, the rape of inmates including mothers while in prison, and other injustices that accompany the counterproductive war on drugs.

This text welds together two decades of ethnographic research of marijuana in the Caribbean and the United States. Ansley Hamid juxtaposes an in-depth study of the spread of Rastafari in the 1970s with an examination of the rise of an international marijuana economy. This revisionist work emphasizes Rastafari as the “hearts and minds” behind both the Caribbean informal drug economy and the internationalization of the “ganja complex”.

But when cities or provinces are used to living under a prince, and his family is wiped out, since on the one hand they are used to obeying, and on the other have lost their former prince, they cannot agree on the choice of a new prince from among themselves and they cannot live in freedom without one. So they are slower to take up arms, and a prince can win them and assure himself of them more easily. But in republics there is more life, more hatred, a greater desire for revenge; the memory of their ancient liberty does not and cannot let them rest; in their case the surest way is to wipe them out or to live there in person

This is the film that the United States government does not want you to see. This is the film that contains the facts about one movement… one man… and one miraculous plant that could revolutionize the world. The best-selling book The Emperor Wears No Clothes blew the lid off the anti-hemp conspiracy and explained all there is to know about an easy-to-grow plant with infinite, non-intoxicating uses.
Why is hemp illegal? The information is in this film, and you won’t believe it!
This video is about a man’s fight for truth, justice and a plant. What began as a singular battle has turned into a massive movement to educate America about this environmentally beneficial plant. “Emperor of Hemp” exposes government and big-business efforts to keep the plant illegal, and takes you to the front lines of the pro-hemp movement.
Meet the “Emperor of Hemp,” Jack Herer, the man behind “The Emperor Wears No Clothes.” Find out how his passionate journey began. Discover how he overcame hurdle after hurdle. Cheer his ultimate vindication. Narrated by Peter Coyote, “Emperor of Hemp” could change the world … if the American public finally realizes “The Emperor Wears No Clothes.”

Whether you’re already a true believer, or you’re still not quite convinced, or you just plain haven’t been paying attention, “Emperor of Hemp” will open your eyes and mind to the true history of the incredibly beneficial hemp plant and to the dark secrets of marijuana prohibition. Film contains startling information from Jack Herer’s best-selling cult classic book “The Emperor Wears No Clothes.” Includes powerful narration by Emmy-winner Peter Coyote and outstanding music from Bonnie Raitt, Joe Walsh, Cheap Trick and Kara’s Flowers, now known as Maroon5. DVD also includes 1942 U.S. government pro-hemp propaganda film “Hemp for Victory.”

A mind-altering experience. This is an exceedingly important documentary. It makes a clear case for why the so-called ‘war on drugs’ has been — and will continue to be — such a colossal failure. We have spent billions upon billions of dollars trying to prevent the influx of substances so many Americans demand to have, and the availability of illicit drugs is at an all-time high.This ‘war on drugs’ is one of the worst examples of our government’s embarrassing close-mindedness and immaturity, not to mention lack of sophistication, bravery, and foresight.The film depicts the hypocrisy of this failed policy: marijuana and cocaine are illegal, yet alcohol and tobacco are perfectly legal, these latter two substances having caused more damage and ruination than any other substances to which our government has given its stamp of approval.And speaking of hypocrisy, the film also chronicles the Iran Contra scandal, our government’s sickening, morally debauched effort to actually facilitate the introduction of illegal drugs into society, utilizing the profits to finance a wholly illegal military operation.While Booth quite understandably argues that this ‘war’ is a ludicrous waste, he is open-minded and intellectually honest enough to show the devastation that drugs (mostly of the legal variety) have wreaked upon close friends and members of his family. So, in the end, he presents a wide-ranging, multi-faceted look at the problem: Yes, drugs destroy lives, but this ‘war’ has proven to be a meaningless and ill-conceived solution. There’s so much to consider here, and Kevin Booth has done an outstanding job of providing the appropriate fodder for contemplation and, hopefully, political action.

Grass, narrated by actor/activist Woody Harrelson, takes a highly spirited and innovative look into one of America’s most deeply rooted cultural myths: the evils of “pot”, “cannabis”, “weed”, “dubich”, “doobie”, “shrub”, or whatever man. From the story of America’s first drug czar, to the absurd scare tactics behind propaganda films like Reefer Madness, and Marijuana: Threat or Menace, director Ron Mann (Comic Book Confidential, Twist) poignantly and humorously exposes the social, political and economic facts behind this enduring weed, and the extent to which it has profoundly shaped our culture.

Waiting to Inhale examines the heated debate surrounding marijuana and its use as medicine in the United States. As seriously ill patients demand laws to protect their right to use medical marijuana, opponents claim their argument is just a smokescreen for a different agenda–to legalize the drug altogether. How did America go from Reefer Madness mania to permitting the first clinical trials using smoked cannabis in decades? And what evidence is there that marijuana can alleviate the devastating symptoms of AIDS, cancer and multiple sclerosis? Waiting to Inhale takes the viewer from underground pot clubs to the U. S. Supreme Court; from an Israeli scientist’s laboratory to massive government-approved marijuana greenhouses outside London. The film goes inside the lives of patients who have been forever changed by illness–and parents who have lost children to drug overdoses and believe marijuana is the culprit. Above all, Waiting to Inhale sheds new light on the controversy and presents shocking new evidence that marijuana could hold a big stake in the future of medicine.

Most people don’t know their basic constitutional rights, and those who do usually waive them in the face of police intimidation. Worse, police rely on people’s fear and ignorance of the law to trick them into waiving their rights, which often lands them in jail. That’s why Flex Your Rights (FyR) — a Washington, DC-based educational group — created BUSTED: The Citizen’s Guide to Surviving Police Encounters. This fun 45-minute educational DVD realistically depicts three common police scenarios — traffic stop, street stop, and home entry. Narrator Ira Glasser, a former ACLU executive director, shows you how to avoid cops’ “gotcha games”as they try to trick you into waiving your rights; how to be courteous but not intimidated by police tactics; and how phrases such as “I don’t consent to any searches” can keep you out of jail. BUSTED was made for anyone who’s afraid that their looks or lifestyle makes them a target for law enforcement. This includes skaters, smokers, rockers, and freedom-loving people of all sorts

Danny Masterson (TV’s ‘That ’70s Show’) leads a hilarious ensemble cast that includes Mekhi Phifer (Dawn of the Dead, 8 Mile), Terry Crews (TV’s ‘Everybody Hates Chris,’ Friday After Next), Darrell Hammond (TV’s ‘Saturday Night Live‘), Mo Collins (TV’s ‘Mad TV’) about two hapless stoners who get involved in a scheme to rip off a shady character named Mr. Big after the duo sours on rehab.

New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael liked it (the movie, that is), adding that it was “an exploitation slapstick comedy, rather than a family picture, such as Blazing Saddles or High Anxiety–which means that it’s dirtier, wilder, and sillier.” The story has to do with bumbling potheads Cheech & Chong searching for primo bud, while being tailed by a team of inept law-enforcement officers, led by Sgt. Stedenko (Stacy Keach). Up in Smoke is an irresistibly silly and charming movie that–despite, or perhaps because of, the national furor over drug use–plays today like a relic from a bygone era, a sweeter, more open, more innocent period in our history.

Cannabis comedy doesn’t get more juvenile than this pro-pot goof about three stoners who come to the rescue of a fourth buddy when he’s arrested for feeding a lethal dose of junk food to a diabetic police horse. Kenny (Harland Williams) is sent to jail, and to rescue him from the almost inevitable trauma of homosexual rape (giving you some idea of this movie’s level of humor), his buddies set out to raise his $100,000 bail by selling high-grade weed ripped off from a pharmaceutical research lab. That’s about it for the plot; the rest of the movie’s a parade of marijuana jokes and amusing pot-friendly cameos by the likes of Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson, and Janeane Garofalo. As two of the bong-hitting buddies, Jim Breuer (from Saturday Night Live) and comedian Dave Chappelle do their best to disguise the movie’s lack of inspiration. But no matter how hard they try to milk laughs from the one-joke premise, they can’t stop the movie’s title from being an apt description of the movie itself.

Determined to find out the true effects of marijuana on the human body, stand-up comedian and former Stoner of the Year Doug Benson documents his experience avoiding pot for 30 days and then consuming massive amounts of the drug for 30 days. More than just an amusing story of one man’s quest to get super high, this documentary also examines the hotly contested debate over medical marijuana use.

Grab your favorite munchies, kids. Red and Meth, that dope-addled dynamic duo, are going to Harvard! And while it’s not an episode of Masterpiece Theatre, How High is destined to become a guilty pleasure of the cannabis crowd. The plot’s a familiar one–take the basic selling points of any Cheech & Chong movie (a pair of shambolic protagonists who smoke lots of weed while slinging slang and driving funky, ’70s-style cars), graft them onto a generic “raising hell on campus” teen movie scenario, and shake vigorously. Red and Meth, a.k.a. Redman and Method Man, may look like the world’s oldest freshmen, but both offer genial performances, especially Method Man, who imbues the character of Silas with a dog-eared gentleness .

Totally Baked is the hilarious totally offbeat cannabis comedy in the tradition of Half Baked guaranteed to give you the munchies.Totally Baked spoofs the legalization of Marijuana with a uproariously funny tone guaranteed to please audiences.

Four potheads get into trouble with the local drug dealer ‘Grim’, when they run over his beloved dog ‘Bitch’. They are given 48 hours to steal 25 pounds of medicinal marijuana being shipped to the local medical school. Little do they know, another drug dealer named ‘Lo Co’ is trying to move into Grim’s territory by stealing the same shipment of marijuana in order to hit the streets with the best product. Unfortunately unbeknownst to all, another more powerful bad guy named Mr. D has hired his top thief, a world renowned cat-burglar named ‘Katrina’ to steal the same shipment not because of the outer content of marijuana, but because inside the bag of weed is a 15 karat diamond worth 20 million dollars.

Released to only a handful of theaters in the spring and summer of 1998, Homegrown was
neglected by nervous distributors who couldn’t figure out how to market a movie about marijuana farmers. As a result, hardly anyone saw this cleverly plotted comedy-thriller about three experienced pot growers in northern California (Billy Bob Thornton, Hank Azaria, and Ryan Phillippe) who guard their valuable outdoor crop against raids by the cops and unwanted competitors. When their mysterious leader is apparently murdered, Thornton assumes the dead man’s identity to arrange one last, lucrative bumper-crop deal, but pulling off the scam proves to be a lot harder than they’d anticipated. While the three potheads seek refuge with an old colleague (Kelly Lynch) and routinely sample their goods (which explains the film’s theatrical obscurity), Homegrown turns into a taut thriller fueled by equal parts comedy and paranoid tension–an update of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre with marijuana instead of gold! Featuring cameo roles for Jamie Lee Curtis, Ted Danson, and John Lithgow, this entertaining film fell victim to the misguided fear that it promotes drugs and illegal activity. If anything, it promotes interesting characters, catchy dialogue, and a welcomed alternative to mainstream Hollywood comedies.
